“Myers is our closer and has done a tremendous job all year,” Luhnow said. “Having Cordero down in the bullpen will be very helpful for us. Our bullpen has been very good at times this year and at times has been a weakness as well. Having Wilton Lopez and Cordero and Myers there at the end of the game will definitely help us.

“(Cordero) obviously has got a lot of experience. I talked with him and told him he would be used toward the end of the game. But for now, Brett Myers continues to be our closer.”

Myers has 19 saves in 21 save opportunities this season with an ERA of 3.25 in 30.2 innings pitched.
